If you've read my blog for any amount of time, then you know that I love Suave hair care! Suave has recently come out with a new, redesigned professional line of products and I've got some new favorites!

The first one is Suave's Dry Shampoo. Oh yeah! I don't know a single mom who couldn't use this! Be honest, how many times has it happened that you woke up late, or it took longer than expected to get the kids ready, or you just ran out of time to get in the shower? Or maybe you have time for a quickly shower to wash your body, but definitely don't have time to wash and style your hair? It happens to me more often than I'd care to admit. Suave's Dry Shampoo is perfect for this very situation. Just spray a little in your hair and fluff! Voila! You're ready to go and your hair looks (AND SMELLS) awesome! It will totally save your hair on those mornings when your kids don't want those waffles, or those socks, or that shirt and you suddenly find yourself with ten minutes to get ready because everyone took five times as long as usual to eat breakfast and get dressed!

The other new product I especially love is the Leave In conditioner. I have crazy curly frizzy hair unless I spend a million hours straightening it. I use Suave's Sleek Anti-Frizz Cream every single day. And now, I use this leave in conditioner as well. It helps tame my curly hair so it's not so "Diana Ross circa 1968".

Would you like to win an assortment of several new Suave Professionals products? Let me know what your favorite hair care product is and why. Leave me a comment here with your email address and let me know. I'll choose a random winner on Saturday, March 26. Contest open to U.S. residents. Good luck!

I use Pert shampoo because it has the shampoo and conditioner in one, and I'm too lazy to do each separately. I use Suave or Dove unscented hairspray to keep my very fine hair in place. At my age, that is even more important! And they don't bother my allergies! I would love to win some new products to try, as long as they are unscented. Thanks!

My favorite is Herbal essence, but really only because my 8 year old loves the smell of it! Whenever i get out of the shower he wants to smell my hair! He will def be a smell and hair guy when he grows up! lol

I also have curly hair. And I live in a high humidity area... those combined do NOT match. So when I find something I stock pile... Lately the Fructise line works for me. But I am ALWAYS looking for something new.

I typically use Suave products and love them because they are so affordable. I do like John Frieda Frizz Ease for my curls though. I have to put something in my hair after the shower and most gel and mouse for curls leaves it way too crispy. I would love to try Suave's Anti-Frizz cream.

I have been using Pantene for years, but am finding it too expensive (you know, 4 kids, not job, etc) and have recently started purchasing Suave hair care for the kidlets! After smelling and seeing how clean their hair is - I think I'm SOLD! Hope to get these new products in addition to the new ones I'm buying for MYSELF! Thanks for making me smile Dawn! :)

I have relatively short hair so I don't use much product, however, I have 2 girls who are always looking for a new detangler, conditioner, etc. Right now the detangler for my 5 yr old would be my best friend.

Ooh, I want some Suave dry shampoo! I never have time to wash my hair and really need to get a haircut but...don't have time. :)My favorite hair care product right now is Pantene clarifying b/c my hair is like a giant grease gun perched on my head and that tends to degrease better than anything. Also, I really like not having to wash anyone else's hair but I'm a mom of 3 & so you know that's not happening.Free Suave swag would lessen that angst, however.

With my very curly and extremely curly hair I'd have to say I love anything that keeps it under control! I'm currently addicted to a light weight spray leave conditioner that Aussie makes because not only does it smell great it also makes my hair look great!

One of my favorite hair care products, is really an all over type product made by philosophy (I think) and I only like it because it smells just like Creme Brulee! OMG I almost want to eat the stuff cause it smells so good...but if I did that, I think I would seriously regret it.

I use Suave shampoo for my girls hair. I especially love their detangler it helps make for a much easier morning when I can fix someone hair without them screaming that I'm hurting their head hope I win :) sasha-tx

I'd love to try the dry shampoo. I was reading a discussion about dry shampoo a week ago and it sounds wonderful. If I let me hair go more than a day between washing it is awful. There are definitely days I'd like to skip waking up before the kids just to shower.

I normally buy what's on sale or what I have a coupon for, yeah I'm thrifty like that. Right now I'm using Suave Rosemary Mint something and I just love the way it smells. I can't tell if it's helping my hair at all, but I can over look that because it smells so good.

With 5 kids to wash, rinse, and blow-dry, I have not found a Suave product that I do not like. What do I love the most-----the price! My boys just found out this week that 1/4 bottle strawberry ess. shampoo+whirlpool bath= bubbles that flow out of the tub, onto the floor, out of the bathroom and onto the bedroom carpet. (at least everything smells good)

I have thick, coarse, curly hair so I have to over condition it like crazy in order for me to be able to even consider going out in public. Right now my favorite is the Aussie Moist line. Seems to work really well at keeping my hair hydrated.

i usually use John Freida products on my curls in the summer and to straighten my hair actually...They are one of the few things I have found that actually give me curls and the heat spray doesn't damage my hair when I use it with a blow dryer.

I LOVE Suave! I use the Sleek Anti-Frizz Cream for my "crazy curly frizzy" hair too! I also use the gel. It's so great when I get compliments that my hair smells good, and I get to tell them I use Suave!

For my curls I love "Frizz-Ease" or however you spell it. I didn't know suave had a frizz fix. I may need to check it out! I love Suave 2 in 1 for my husband because the man takes the longest showers and anything to make them shorter works for me! (Although sadly I can't find the 2 in 1 product anywhere!) I use the cucumber melon scent suave for my hair. Smells SO good!

I use a variety of products, but so far, my favorite has been Nexus split end repair. I also use 10 min miracle every day to tame my tresses... I haven't tried suave in years, so this would be a great opportunity to try something new again!

I have used Suave products for me and my kids now for a long time. Right now I am using a 2 in 1 Suave professionals SHampoo, I use Suave hairspray, I also just started using the SUave 365 hair protection hold spray. My kids use the suave for kids as well! I have never used the spray shampoo or the leave in condition and would love to try it

I love the Mane & Tail shampoo/conditioner and Pert Plus. I normally let my hair grow to waist length & I don't style it often. Pure Romance has a conditioner that is wonderful, too!! But as much as I love those products, I tend to use Suave most because it's affordable & it works! We didn't have hot water for about a year (truth!) and I had no idea about dry shampoo! Live & learn! :)

I have no idea what my favorite is. It's usually whatever is in the shower that still has enough shampoo in it. Not one of the bottles that have been dumped and refilled with with cold water. Definitely not the bottle that's a combination created by son of all liquid found in the shower, including the dog shampoo. Life as a single mom is a rat race, so I use whatever I find available at the moment. :)

My favorite hair product is a smoothing cream from Got 2 B. (is that the name of the company? I don't remember. Ran out of coffee this morning and it's all a blur since then.) I like it because it smooths the fly aways, makes my hair shiny, a little goes a long way, and my hair isn't a ball of grease afterward.

I used to love Pantene's Clarifying shampoo. It made my hair feel so clean and soft, and I also loved that it was clear. The clear made it easy to distinguish from the conditioner when I travel. Pantene stopped making that shampoo, though, so I've been on the lookout for a replacement shampoo. None of the remaining Pantene shampoos seem to be what I'm looking for so I'd love to check out what Suave has!

I really like Suave products too. I can't say that I have a true favorite though because I buy whatever is free or on sale. I do like Frizz Ease for my hair though...keeps it from looking really frizzy and fluffy.

I am always looking for something new. I have very curly and frizzy hair so I use a ton of products: leave-in conditioners, mousses, smoothing/anti-frizz liquids...I have yet to try the Suave products, but would love to!

I love hairspray and moose and I buy whatever brand is cheaper or on sale. Suave and Tresemme are the main ones!! I have zilch time to get ready so any product that makes it easier is better!! YAY for Suave dry shampoo!!!

I use the color-safe Aveda shampoo, but Pantene conditioner and Suave hairspray -- and Suave shampoo for the kids. I've been looking for a good dry shampoo AND an anti-frizz, so I've just written down your suggestions for Suave. Always liked Suave.

Have never tried any Suave products, so would be nice to try some this way! :-) I use Pantene products on my hair...but with curly hair and humidity, I'm fighting a losing battle! Still looking for that "miracle in a bottle." imusj76@yahoo.com

I'm embarressed to admit that by the time I get the Girls' bathed and my hubby has a shower, I'm out of luck with getting a hot shower. I always have intentions of getting my shower done in the mornings, but then either the Girls' wake up early or I have errands and chores that interfere. I'm lucky to get truely clean twice a week and the rest of the time is sponge baths and my hair pulled up in a ponytail LOLMy email address is cavettfamily@yahoo.comMany Blessings,Sheila

I LOVE Suave products! I freaked when I couldn't find their mousse for curly hair any more. Then I was afraid when I found it again, only to see it had been reformulated. Never a good thing...usually. This one is FANTASTIC on my frizzy curls! Leaves my hair soft & SHINY!!

Hi Dawn!I love hair conditioner - I get serious bed head and need help with those tangles.

I am intrigued by this dry shampoo. Wow, what a great idea! I need that for myself and my son. He showers every other day and on day two his hair is grungy looking. If I had a product to help with that I'd be happy to send him to school with cleaner looking hair. And, getting myself ready to mom taxi them to school is last. I find myself throwing on a hat to hide my hair. And, I hate wearing hats - makes me head hot!

Fingers crossed I win - I love to try new products! Dawn (with the same b-day :-)

Like you, my hair bypasses "naturally curly" and goes straight to "stuck my finger in a light socket" frizzy without styling product intervention. I love Suave's Sleek Anti-Frizz Cream, and I use the professional line of shampoos for dry, frizzy hair...and on the days when that doesn't happen, I wear a baseball cap!

I would love the Suave Dry Shampoo. I definitely need to go find that. I've resorted to using powder in my hair to make it look ummmm not so greasy because I didn't have a chance to wash it before I ran out the door. Those are days I want to wear a bag over my head. Oh I hope I win!!

Anti-frizz hair gel! It makes all the difference if I put it in before blow-drying and straightening. I find that my hair doesn't re-puff by noon if I remember to use it. A small amount is also good on dry hair for touch-ups. I'd love to try the dry shampoo too!

Since I color my hair... wait! No! It's natural! *cough cough*. Okay really, I love any product that helps retain my color, and I would love to try that dry shampoo for those days you hit the snooze just one too many times before work... hehe :)

My one daughter and I have very thick, long hair (other daughter has the curly curls)and conditioner is the key to keeping Our hair "rat free" (or close to it). I buy Suave De-Tangle Spray (Watermelon scent) for the Girls and they love it!! I just spray and brush their hair and it helps soo much! I also love Infusium 23 Leave In Conditioner is AWESOME!!! Pour some in your hair, work through your hair and Voila...like Magic, when you Brush the tangles gentle come out!! :) I would love to win the Suave Products for My family!! We have Straight, Long, Curly Curly, and Wavy type hair..so any products that will "tame the wild" are great!!! :)shopgirl2u2000 @ yahoo (dot) com

I love Suave's lavendar shampoo. The smell is so calming and peaceful. When I can't find it at one store, I'll go to another until I find that particular one. I'm loyal once I find something I like!leebroom4@gmail.com

I don't have a favorite product yet. Nothing seems to work to tame my very wavy, frizzy hair. It looks awsome when it is wet, but as soon as it starts to dry, POOF I turn into poodle head. I am willing to try ANYTHING to tame this mop. Also, I would love to try the dry shampoo on my daughter. She seems to think that as long as she stands NEAR the shower that she will automatically get clean. It would be nice to have something for those days when I don't have time to send her back 3 times to "try again". suzannemnr@sc.rr.com

My favorite hair care product is Suave mousse. I just use the regular mousse and it really helps to give my hair some body and lift. Otherwise, I have very straight, limp, fine hair. Would love to try something new though - especially that dry shampoo! I am definitely intrigued!!

I use the Suave 'Professional' line that is similar to Nexxus and after reading some of the comments about the rosemary mint being very similar to Aveda, I'm going to give that a try next! I'd love to check out the dry shampoo as well!

I think a dry shampoo would be my favorite! I have never tried them. Always thought they were expensive! Although as a Mom of 2 girls: one with LONG hair and one with CURLY hair, I think detangler is the most important hair care product in our house.

I am a hair product junkie. Right now I am addicted to Organix Tea Tree Oil Shampoo and Conditioner it makes my hair smell like thin mints no lie. I am also loving an Avon leave in but they discontinued it and i will be looking for a new one maybe I will try the Suave!

Hi.I always use a leave-in conditioner because my hair gets frizzy and un-smooth quickly. I would totally have much use for a dry shampoo, too, although I have never had the courage to try one.kathylsanderson@gmail.com

Aussie spray conditioner is what I use every day! Fine curly hair in the desert is not a good thing, so I actually just got one of Suave Professional shampoo/conditioners to try a few days ago. Thanks for the chance to win!

Dawn, after reading your post I ran right over to my Target and found the dry shampoo. My girls and I are in heaven. It takes the shine right away. You are a lifesaver! I have used baby powder for years, but this is soooo much cleaner and finer.

My favorite hair care product is a ponytail holder! No muss, no fuss, but it does leave my hair pretty blah after too many days:) I am a suave professionals gal when I take the time to style. Like the root lifter.

As for product in general, though, there's a Garnier smoothing spray that got me through my high school and college years. My hair has changed quite a bit since then (or maybe it's really that I just wear it up 90% of the time), so I don't need it any more, but it's still a favorite!

Am I too late to enter? Probably...In case not, my favorites from Suave are the detangling spray for my daughter and now the new dry shampoo! I bought some after reading your blog post Thursday and guess what? I needed to use it Friday morning because I got up too late to wash my hair. I loved it! It worked super AND it really did smell great!:)Heatherhawdieann@yahoo.com
